Poseidon rules earthquakes?

Yes. One of his oldest epithets is ἐνοσίχθων, earth-shaker. It's attested in Linear B. Ἐννοσίγαιος is synonymous; he is also called γαιήοχος, earth-holder, earth-cradler. He is closely associated with horses, but he is also the bull that roars under the earth. You should read Mary Renault's The King Must Die (1958).
